Navy Interviews Applicants
Included among the 479 col-j
leges and universities eligible forj
use in one or more kind of army-
navy program, are Nebraska's
facilities in military engineering,
medical, dental, and pre-medical
and pre-dental .training.
The joint committee for the se
lection of non-federal educational
institutions, which was appointed
to select the colleges and univer
sities to be utilized in the spe
cialized war training programs of
the armed forces has recently

log. The government is so inter
ested in continuation of college
work that it is willing to pay as
much as one half of the corre
spondence study.
Students who are interested in
this plan may ask for Information
from Dr. Patterson, Dr. K. O.
Broady, director of the university
extension division, or Dr. G. W.
Rosenlof, director of admissions
and university examiner.
In order to clear up the situa
tion concerning the cerdits of stu
dents who have been called during
this semester, Dr. Rosenlof pointed
out that the university senate ap
proved a specific recommendation
coming from the war emergency
committee that a student in good
standing forced to withdraw from
the university because of his be
ing called into the armed forces
would be privileged to inquire into
the possibility of securing some
credit.
Blanks may be obtained from
the registrar's office for the use
of students who wish to make ap
plication for possible partial credit
for work already completed.
It is also pointed out by Dr.
Rosenlof that students may con
tinue thru extension certain of the
courses for which they are regis
tered and upon the completion of
the work that normally would be
required, would receive full credit,
Finally, lie pointed out that stu
dents called after eight weeks are
entitled to receive one half of their
credits providing they have main
tainM a record of 70 percent or
better. If called up after twelve
weeks, they -are entitled to re
ceive full credit for courses for
which, they are registered.
